Location of Sighting: East Of Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Venus like.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I live in a rural setting 40 minute drive from any town. I was working that night and came home at around 3:00am. I needed to unwind and just take a breath from my stressful job, so I turned to the sky.

I have been a skeptic my whole life, starting in grade two, where I have studied space and everything about it. I also took out books and anything I could get my hands on, to explain things that others thought were paranormal. I knew the real meaning of UFO, in grade three, which does not = Aliens. Anyhow.

I come home at 3:00am and look at the stars. My view is so clear I can see the milky way, and it’s an incredible sight. I have my own telescope and know the stars off by heart, what's supposed to be there and what's not.

As I faced the south to look for Venus, Mars or Sirius, I saw a big glowing light. At first I thought it was Venus, but it was twice as big and a wee bit brighter. I was confused, but realized It must be a satellite. This bright object was making an arc across the sky, but, was shivering. Vibrating up and down, left and right, as it made it’s way southeast and down. It was very, very slowly getting smaller as it vibrated, curving down.

I stood there with my mouth open, because it was something I had never seen before, in 10 years of observing the sky. It slowly moved behind a branch blocking my view, and disappeared until I stepped around it, confirming it wasn't my mind or eyes.

I heard nothing, which was also weird. 3:00am in the country? You can hear everything, but not one sound. It finally bobbed behind the horizon, with out a trace. No jet marks, smoke, meteor streak, or sound. Nothing.

Maybe I've become the people I always thought were crazy and always had an explanation. But I have none.

My dad saw the same thing at around 9:30pm in St. Catharines Ontario, he said it was not wobbling, it was red in color though, not orange and looked like it had flames coming from it, it was at a steady fast pace.

Oh sorry it was July 1st, 2010 at 9:30pm and it was the red ball of fire.

I was out at my lake yesterday in the Parkland Region of Manitoba where I spent the night.

It was a windy rainy/sleet/snowy night. My buddies and I had been working on the cabin for most of the day since we arrived. We finished up working at about 9:00pm. I had a bite to eat and I was sitting down on the couch by the wood-stove relaxing and talking with my friends.

It was about 10:30pm, and my friends were done for the night, one sleeping already and the other on the way. The only light I had was from the woodstove. I was still on the couch, sitting there. All of a sudden out of the east window of the cabin, a bright glowing sphere appeared.

With it being so dark out, with the storm taking place and with no power on the property or near by lights, the brightness from sphere threw me off guard.

In size comparison the sphere appeared to me as large as the moon looks to us, though it was nothing like the moon.

It was giving off a very bright intense white light. More bright than anything should appear through the dense blizzard conditions. It was just sitting there, about 25 -30 feet off the ground. Pretty much level with the tree tops in that area of the property.

The sphere was approximatley 40 - 60 feet away. If I was to guess, it was likely close to the same size as the one I had my close encounter with last June and I would say at least 3 to 4 feet in diameter. It was very close to the same location as the one last summer, just outside the cabin.

As the sphere emitted it's intense light, the forest was lit up and I could see all the trees in the immediate area. I could see through all the sleet coming down as the snow on the ground reflected the bright white light.

The light is not like normal light, it was almost like a penetrating light with it intensity. It remained glowing for about three or so seconds when it dissapeared.

I jumped up and ran to the window to see where it was, but I couldn't see anything. It was too dark and with the storm, there was no reflecting light on the snow.

It was about two minutes later that the sphere suddenly appeared again, but was further to the south of the cabin this time. It again had the same intensity and remained glowing as it sat in position, just above the tree tops. About 4 seconds later it disappeared again.

I watched for another couple minutes to see if it would show itself again, but it didn't and I was too tired from the days work to stand there and wait any longer.

I don't venture out to the lake and cabin much in the winters.

Having had all my encounters in the past take place in spring, summer, and fall. I was wondering as I headed up to the cabin Thursday morning, if the snow and adverse weather stops them (UFOs) from doing what they do. It was thought that I had never expected to be answered.

This, to my surprise is my first ever encounter in the winter.

I will keep you posted, if I see anything else.

Take care, stay safe and please give my best to Jeff Rense.

Hello, my name is (name removed), I'm originally from St. Margrets Bay, Nova Scotia, but I moved out to Calgary in late October. My friend and I witnessed something with our own eyes and we couldn't even come up with a logical explanation. We were parked at a location just outside of Calgary in the city of Airdire, and my friend glanced out the window quickly when something caught his eye.

I immediately looked to see what he was checking out. There were 4 of us in the car, my friend and I in the back seat, the other two did not get a chance to see it. We were both so shocked we didn’t say anything until it was over. We saw a big bright light similar to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n6OoIqhcq8. It was night time about 10:30 and the light was just over the cities horizon. The UFO was much lower though then the one in the video, and we had a little closer view of Calgary.

What makes me so sure this is a UFO is that I've witnessed shooting stars and satellites coming back into orbit, and neither of those resemble anything like this event. When my friend and I glanced over, the light moved about 3 seconds after and when he moved it didn't move up into the sky, it moved over the city of Calgary with a trailing beam of light behind it that lasted for about 2 seconds replacing where the aircraft once was.

From a distance it appeared as if the object was moving slowly, but you could tell if you were at a closer distance it covered a lot of ground very fast. It disappeared once it flew over the city buildings, it almost resembled a spot light the way it took off into the sky, but my friends and I waited for an hour to watch for any other signs of an explanation and were left with nothing.

The only reason I believe this is a UFO is because of the feeling I got after seeing this, my eyes have never seen something like that in my life and could not come up with any sort of logical explanation on their own. This happened in late December prior to Christmas time, I decided to search Calgary UFO sightings up and discovered that my friend and I aren't alone, and some of these sightings have occurred just in the recent earlier months.

About 14 years ago, me and a friend of mine were driving east down Highway 5 (Saskatchewan, Canada) towards Fishing lake around 10:00pm or later. We noticed a half moon shaped object in the sky, which we assumed was the moon, in fact, was not. We were blown away because we knew where the moon was and slowed down to figure out what the hell this was.

As we came to a stop, the object got smaller and then just disappeared. We continued on our way, completely shocked and freaked out. We reached our destination and told some people about what we saw. Of coarse, laughter ensued. We left shortly there after still wondering what we had saw.

Of coarse, UFO was the topic. I dropped off my friend and we decided that this was better off left unsaid. To this day, I still think about it. Then when I Googled the object description, I came across this article. I was once again shocked. Weird.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Hi Brian, we have emailed a few times back and forth and I want you to know where I am coming from. My name is (name removed), I am 42 years old now. Ever since I was a young child, before I knew anything about this, I had dreams of what I thought were skeletons coming through my basement and meeting me.

Now I have a older brother (9 or 10 years older) and had an experience as a child. He was 15 or 16 and he asked me to spend the night in his new room in the basement.

All I can remember is how apprehensive I was and only lasted a couple of hours. The feeling of the "skeleton" creatures coming for me were very much real. Fast forward now a few years, and well the vivid dreams I had were not skeletons, but well, small entities with big dark eyes or areas were eyes should be.

Now to put all this into perspective. My educational background is that of a law enforcement. I have a solid education in investigation techniques, evidence collection and interviewing.

My other area is aviation. I currently have over 2000 hours as pilot in command with extra courses in meteorology. I know what the difference is between anomalous lights and standard aircraft placement.

Now for my latest recollection. It was in the late summer of 1989, I was pilot in command of a Piper Navajo. We departed for a parts run from Hamilton to Val Dor Quebec. We were chartered by Domtar for some paper mill parts. It was not that late as I remember landing and grabbing a coffee before we departed back for Hamilton.

We were cruising at 13 K feet back to Hamilton and were just approaching Lake Simcoe when my co-pilot said" have a look down below" What we both saw was a deep orange glow rising from the lake, getting more distinct and disk shaped as it was rising. With in a few seconds, it was at our level, again 13K feet, and it shot straight up.

Now on the radio, Toronto Centre, there was chatter about this object shooting straight up from an Air Ontario Dehavilland inbound from Ottawa.

Brian, It was as clear and prominent as the nose on your face. I called into YYZ centre and was told if I want to make a report to do so, if not, they were sure some one else would. Unfortunately, I did not file the Transport Canada paper work and I regret that to this day.

Location of Sighting: Acton, Ontario Canada.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Two triangles, one crescent.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was going out for a cigarette with a friend after watching a hockey game. I watched a triangular shaped object with three dark-blue lights at the corners fly overhead at an incredible speed. It was traveling south to north. As my friend, that I was with did not see the object, I was showing him the path that it had just flew over.

While we were looking up, an identical object flew overhead on the exact same path, at the exact same speed and height. We were stunned. A few hours later I was watching the sky again by myself, with the hope of seeing another UFO. After a while of watching, a brown crescent-shaped object slowly flew overhead on the exact same south to north path that the other two had flown on.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

I was driving from Toys r US located in High Tech Drive in Richmond Hill, Ontario, when I turned to Silver Linden going north the street turns into an L shape to the west, this is when I saw an extremely bright light in the west, the sun was very bright so I could not see that much, so I put my polarized lenses on. When I did this, I was very surprised to see that the bright light, it was a metallic sphere hovering in the sky, My wife was beside me and she saw it also.

My theory is that it looked so bright because the metallic sphere was reflecting the sun's light.

The sun was extremely bright to the point that it blinds you this is why I think people were avoiding to see in that direction, but with the shades on I was able to see the object more. It was very far so I was not able to distinguish more details, but what I am certain it was not a plane because at the same time I saw an airplane flying, so I was able to compare the objects and obviously it was not a plane it was a UFO

When I decided to stop and park the car to admire the object, the object was gone, it vanished, but I still saw my reference plane flying by.

This happened on Saturday January 8, 2011 between 3:40 and 4:30 p.m.

I would be very interested to see the video from the first sighting, is it possible that he can load the video to YouTube?

Best regards. Take care and have a good day.

Location of Sighting: Chatham Ontario Canada.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Orb.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was driving on St. Clair, St. Chatham 7:00pm. I saw a pickup truck with his 4 ways on, stopped pointing his cell phone towards the sky. I looked up and there was this fire orange colored orb moving slowly eastward.

It was about 300 feet up I guess. It would flash every second too. It was not a plane, either. It was very quiet and it was pretty cool.

At 10:30am on January 24, 2011 I received a reply by way of telephone from the Canadian Coast Guard. They confirmed that a Paraglider had crashed and there was a rescue underway. It was illumination flares that a lot of folks saw that evening. Brian Vike – The Vike Factor.

Below are the sighting reports I received for the January 2011 British Columbia strange light sightings. We know now that flares were dropped from an aircraft to illuminate for searchers.

Location of Sighting: Calgary Alberta
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Round ?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I stepped out side my house for a smoke. Looking in the northern sky, I saw a small fast moving jet travelling from the north going south. I turned, looked south and noticed two stars. At about 40 degrees above horizon. The lower one was brighter than the top one. I thought it was Jupiter.

The top "star" got very bright, then dimmed and then the bottom "star" did the same. Both brightened to a very strong white light. Just before the jet reached there position, the top one blinked out and then the bottom one. WX at the time is clear many stars visible No wind, Temp.- 3 C and the length of time was 2 minutes.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Dear Mr. Vike, I found your site when I did an internet search to learn there were any other reports of something that I saw in the north-northeast sky between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight on Friday, January 21, 2011.

As I entered our bedroom to go to bed between 11:00pm and midnight, January 21, 2011, I saw a very bright yellow-orange colored light that appeared to be pulsating well above the tree-line of the horizon in the north-northeast sky, in the southern part of Central Elgin, in Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, approximately 3-4 km north of Lake Erie's north shoreline near Port Bruce.

The light was much brighter and some of the stars or planets that stand out from other stars, and it seemed much too brilliant and different than any airplane that one regularly sees in the evening night. It looked like it was pulsating, but it could have been multiple lights blurred together to look like a pulse, because it appeared quite distant from our location, perhaps more than 2 kms.

I stood looking at this light for about 15 to 20 seconds and was about to awaken my wife to look, but the light completely disappeared in an instant. It looked like it 'burned out'. I was in disbelief and I woke my wife up right away and told her what I'd just seen. This was not a meteor of any sort. I have seen many meteors of many sizes and speeds.

This object appeared stationary. There was no obstruction in the sky where I had seen that pulsating light, which might have explained its disappearance, as sometimes air craft flying directly away can cross obstructions such as trees that block one's view. As I said, this light was well above the horizon and tree-line and the sky was completely clear and there were no clouds at all.

I have not seen anything like this before, and I have to say that I feel awkward sending a message to a person like you who I only discovered via a quick web search for possible similar sightings.

I have not been able to find any online reports of a similar sighting in this area on that date. This is what I saw and I cannot explain it.

Have you heard of any other similar sightings from this area or elsewhere even remotely similar to what I saw? Please let me know what you think. Thanks and regards.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

I saw the light you are talking about, but it happened 3 times. I also saw a red light circling around the 3 bright light. No sound. Looked like a bonfire in the sky.

Additional Information:

Hi Brian, so glad you are following through on this kind of stuff. I live in Victoria, and was visiting my friend who lives on (street name removed) Street in Chemainus (across from the Elementary School). The lights were due south, above the tree line of the Elementary School, very close and visible.

I saw one glowing ball, like a bonfire in the sky. It lit up the clouds around it, or the clouds were smoke coming from the fire. It glowed for about 4 minuets then just slowly faded. Another light just like it lit up about a minute later, about 100 metres from the first one.

Same thing, like a bonfire in the sky for about 4 minutes, then it faded. About a minute passed and a third light lit up the sky, about 100 metres from where the second light was. This time, though, I noticed a red light circling around the flaming ball, like it was monitoring it. I thought, is that an airplane, but when I went outside, there was no sound.

Just a circling red light around a bonfire in the sky. Then, the third light slowly extinguished.

Would love to hear what you find out. I can't believe more people didn't see it. It was so bright!

(Vike Factor Note) I have received a number of reports on this sighting of a orange ball of light over a part of Vancouver Island here in British Columbia. Trying to figure it out and come up with an answer for the folks who sent reports in.

Hi Brian, I saw your other postings on the orange ball near Ladysmith and thought I'd share ours. We were driving down to Victoria from Nanaimo at around 7:00pm on January 22rd, 2011, along the Trans Canada highway when we saw a bright orange light that looked to me to be flames hanging in the sky. We were close to the Nanaimo airport at the time, so initially we thought it was a plane making an emergency landing that was on fire.

It seemed to move across the sky west to east. It was very bright and orange. There also seemed to be some flashes on the clouds above. We drove on and it was intermittently disappearing and than lighting up again. We've done some digging around and we found out there is a type of flare that releases a small parachute that slowly carries it down, so this would probably make sense, including the flashes on the clouds above when it dropped to the cloud.

There was also something about a paraglider rescue at the time. Can you confirm this? Anyways, I took a short video of it with my camera before the battery died, but its 200mb, so I can't send it to you. Looks like a round ball of light in the video.

Location of Sighting: Gatineau South Quebec Canada.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Horizontal line.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was with my boyfriend in the car, when he turned around and saw a bright orange line. It was a horizontal line and it was also brighter in the middle and a little wider. It was obviously not a contrail or a shooting stars. It stayed there for a couple minutes from the moment when we saw it.

We watched it for 3 minutes and then it slowly dissipated, after slowly regained it’s brightness for another couple minutes and then dissipated until it completely disappeared. It was a cloudy night with almost no stars and we couldn't see the moon, only this thing. We also saw two similar white lights, but they were alot smaller and alot dimmer. When the orange light disappeared 2 minutes after, they started to disappear as well.

Hi there Brian, I live in Cobble Hill and last night, night of 22nd January 2011 I went outside and I saw some brilliant orange lights in the sky. Could not get a good look as they were obscured by trees, but it appeared to dip down and then up again and possibly divided and rejoined.

Anyway, they were very bright, so bright that I had to look away at one point for fear of burning my eyes like a welding arc, but orangey and appeared to be mobile to some degree.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

Brian, I was heading west on Cedar Road, ready to turn right onto the Highway near Cassidy airport on Vancouver Island. In the corner of my eye I saw this orange light that appeared to be hovering over Ladysmith Harbour; this was approximately 19:35 hrs. I have seen these lights before.

My whole family witnessed what were explained as flares over the North Shore Mountains January 21, 1990. I stayed for about 20 minutes watching lights appear, then move horizontally east. Then they moved south and disappeared.

They dimmed then became bright, then faded but still appeared visible as somewhat red and round. I'm wondering what military or coast guard action was going on in this area at that time as they must have been flares?

Location of Sighting: Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: The sphere was spotted by my uncle, flying in an effortless motion in the night sky over the east coast of Cape Breton last night at 9:15. The light was quite large and was very different from the usual things spotted in our very dark sky's, such as stars, planes etc.

It was traveling pretty fast on a scale of one to ten in speed, it was about a seven. It was traveling from north to south and before it was out of sight it seemed to blink off and disappeared. When he returned home there were messages on his answering machine from some family and friends, saying that they had seen something very odd in the sky.

After speaking with them it was determined that they too had seen the same glowing object in the sky.

I was contacted by my uncle, due to my knowledge and understanding of these phenomenon's. I have spent the last 9 years researching and examining sightings.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: At 2:30 in the morning, my best friend and I had just walked outside for a cigarette. We sat side by side on the curb and chatted for a few minutes, when we noticed a flash in the sky. We both looked up and seen something that to this day neither of us could explain.

A massive UFO that spanned at least a mile in width. It was from my estimation, only 1,000 feet off the ground and it lit up the sky. There were five massive lights on the object. Each light approximately the size of a school bus. The lights flashed from both ends to the center. The light almost looked like a glowing fluid that moved in waves.

We were shocked! It hovered in one spot for at least 5 minutes. During this time my friend and I were trying to come up with an explanation for what we were seeing. There was only one explanation, a UFO. Suddenly, the object flew straight up into, what had to be space and hooked off in a westerly direction and disappeared into, behind the star. We were both speechless.

Only after it was gone, did we realize that it had made no noise what so ever. To this day I feel haunted by what we seen and have become increasingly obsessed with finding the proof, that... We are not Alone.

I stopped at the brickyard beach on Gabriola 01/22/2011 at about 7:30 pm and looking south over Mudge Island, when we saw what looked like a fire on Mudge. We then noticed it was moving south, very slowly and it started to fade. We got into our car and drove south, it appeared in the sky over Mudge again, so we stopped on the side of the road to watch.

The light slowly moved, what looked like southeast and it was pulsing and lighting up the clouds above it. It then faded from sight, ten seconds later it appeared in the same spot over Mudge. Wow kind of freaked us out. It went in the same direction as before then faded out, that was about 7:45 pm.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

While driving home from Nanaimo around 7:00pm I saw it as well, and by the time I got home to Chemainus it disappeared. Weird stuff.

Saturday, January 22, 2011

Good evening, today is January 22, 2011 at 7:20-7:37 pm and there has been an orange light in the sky almost flashing at random (reminiscent of a meteor)! What is it?

Additional Information:

Hello again, this was on the #1 Highway on Vancouver Island, starting approximately at the 49th Parallel (Ladysmith, B.C). The object appeared to be orange in colour, quite luminous in the night sky, with as I said before bright bursts of light.

This object appeared and re-appeared in the sky due to the cloud formation. This object fell out of sight behind the front approximately 20kms further down the highway (Chemainus, B.C).

I would appreciate any answers you may provide.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.

I've seen the same thing. It was probably about two years ago now. I was driving back from work which at the time was in Airdrie, AB. I was taking the back roads. It was dark at the time. As I was heading south on the road that connects with the north end of Beddington Trail, I spotted a bright blue light in the distance.

At first I thought that it was perhaps an airplane, but as it got closer I realized it wasn't. It was about fifty yards sort of to the left of me, hovered for a few seconds and took off behind me in the distance, far too fast to be anything manmade. To this day, I still have no explanation of what I saw. Pretty strange.

Hi, this is weird to me, but my wife and I were just outside at 11:45 pm having a smoke when we seen 7 red star like things in the air. There was no sound and they didn’t seem like planes because they were kind of close a few of them.

I came in the house to look it up, as to what just came over Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada with 7 red lights and you popped up. I was so glad to hear someone else seen this, let me know if you find out what it is. I might call the local airport when I am done typing. Thanks.

Vike Factor Note:Marina, the lady who witnessed this amazing UFO event and will be a guest on the Jeff Rense show this evening, January 21, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. PST. You will be able to hear first hand what it was she saw, and how it effected her life.

Date: August 11/12 1997
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m. and 12:18 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Pilot Butte Saskatchewan.
Number of witnesses: 7 and 1.
Number of Objects: 1 and 1.
Shape of Objects: Boomerang wing.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: A lot happened afterwards too. The first night the object looked liked a scalloped wing, bright against the stars, high in the sky. Much, much bigger than a jet plane at a high altitude. No sound on either night.

The second night I was alone in my back yard. I was watching the Perseids meteor shower. (as we had been doing the night previously). It was very clear moonless night and the constellations could be seen clearly, Cassiopia especially. I was about to turn in for bed when the Northern Lights flared up in the distant north horizon. I went to my gate to get a better view, my yard at that time faced the open Prairies.

Location of Sighting: Whycocomagh Cape Breton Canada.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Star like.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Myself and my cousin were camping at the Whycocomagh Provincial Park. I was laying on the picnic table looking at the night sky and began seeing lights flicking on and off rapidly, these objects were really high up. They almost seemed as if they were playing. They would disappear over the mountain and then com back again.

One of them went across to the other side of the bay in a heartbeat, then returned. I still wonder to this day what they were. If a satellite in the night sky is 25 miles above, these things were 500 miles, they were extremely high.

I don't know if it’s the same thing I saw about 9 years ago, but around February 2002 north of Edmonton, Canada. I saw two vertical columns of flashing lights flying horizontally. The patterns displayed were like the ones you described, flashing rapidly for a brief moment, then off for a moment.

The shape of the objects that I saw, were what fascinated me the most. They were not of a conventional shape suitable for flight. They looked (this is strange, but keep an open mind) crystalline shaped, pointed on the top and bottom, but long and parallel sides. They were narrow (about 1/10 width to height) and stayed side by side as if tethered. each "column" consisted of dozens of red lights.

They flew north at a slow pace. it was difficult to tell size, but due to lack of atmospheric distortion, I would guess they were less in the range of 100 feet in height and within a couple miles distance from me.

Every car in the west bound lane, including me hit the brakes and slowed to a crawl. I watched the object (or objects, if you will) for about a full minute. Regrettably, I did not have a camera at the time.

About six months later, I saw it again only much further away. I couldn't see the space between the lights, but I believe it was the same object due to the same flashing patterns seen previously.

I’m anxious to hear your thoughts on this and to hear more of your experience. It’s strange and terrifying to me to think we are not alone, but who knows. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation to what we are witnessing.

Respectfully yours from Canada.

Some stories just seem to always strike a chord with readers. Near the top of the list has to be UFO stories. Readers (not to mention journalists) find them irresistible. So when Kimberly Wavey sent us an e-mail during the early hours of Boxing Day saying she saw "three unexplained reddish orange lights in a triangle" Christmas Eve at 7:47 p.m. in the night sky over Thompson, it was like manna falling from heaven during an otherwise slow news week between Christmas and New Years.

My friend called me at 7:15pm on January 8th, 2011. He told me to "look outside, there's UFOs!" Naturally, I looked. I was expecting to see something kind of weird, but what I saw was 7ish orange kind of twinkling lights moving slowly upwards, not in any particular formations.

As they got higher in the air, they got a little bit faster. They eventually disappeared, moving not with the wind, going faster than any wind-carried object. Needless to say, I was very weirded out. My mother, who was with me, also saw and thought of it as very strange.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: January 13, 2011, at 7:16am. I was driving on HWY 7/Winchester Rd W (westbound) few hundred meters east of Simcoe Rd. in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. On my left shoulder (southwest) approximately one mile away I saw a very strong light, at first I was wondering who would fly at -11c early in the morning.

It was a very clear sky and very cold morning, after few second I realized it cannot be a airplane since it was floating in a place, it wasn’t moving at all. My second thought was that I am looking at the very bright star, I looked around and only one star was in the sky that I could see.

What was very strange is that this “star”, it had two lights very close to each other (almost or maybe connected), I could clearly see that there was two lights, at the moment I was thinking to take a picture (I did not since my wife was with me in the car and she does not believe I any alien form).

Few seconds after the light disappear, just like that. I was stunned, since I could clearly see very strong light (s) second before. My belief in UFO’s is even stronger now, I just regret that I did not take any pictures.

Location of Sighting: Thompson, Manitoba.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of Objects: 5
Shape of Objects: Circles, same size as stars.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was letting my dog out the backdoor to pee when I saw 5 red lights in the sky. They were in a V shape and all equally spaced apart, as in formation. I called everyone outside to come see and we watched as the two lights at the bottom of the V began to move left and right respectively, then the two middle lights each sped off left and right, much faster than the first two.

The last light at the top of the V remained and circled around for another minute before vanishing.

Location of Sighting: Thompson, MB, Canada.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi there, earlier this morning, my sister and I were upstairs in the bedroom. We were looking out the window, when we noticed a bright round object in the sky, pointing south. The object was changing color. It would go from blue to green, then from red to yellow. We watched for about a minute before my boyfriend came home, and joined us.

We saw three objects now. The three of us were trying to wrap our heads around these things. They formed a direct triangle, and they were slowly, but surely moving away from each other. The brightest object started out right above the house across the street from mine, and now, 2 hours later, it is no where to be seen.

The other two objects, were very faint, but you could tell that they weren't stars. They were a reddish orange color, and they seemed to be moving outwards from the brightest one, which was at the point of the triangle. We watched them for about another 30 minutes, and they were still slowly moving out of sight. I managed to get a few videos, and a picture, which I will send to you as soon as I can.

My name is (name removed) from Brampton, Ontario. What I saw was on January 1st, 2011 and about one minute after the New Year.

I sent the picture to you and you can make your conclusion as to what this might be. I really don't know what that thing was.

The big one at the left side took off very rapidly. The colors would be green, orange, and red light. It was a very unusual shape. Thanks again for looking at the picture.

A Vike Factor Note:I had to lighten up the photo a little so you were able to see the orange ball of light.

Location of Sighting: Edson AB.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi Brian, I was having a smoke out the back door when I noticed a bright object in the sky in the northwest. I ran and grabbed the video camera and filmed a bit of it. Excuse the swearing on the video as I was totally unprepared.

Photo Left:To view larger version, click on the picture.

I tried to run over two baby gates and get my boots and coat on to get out the front door, but by the time I got outside the object was gone. I checked the ISS website, and it couldn't be a satellite as this was moving from North west to the South East, and was turning bright and then dull, sporadically undulating in that fashion.

Hi there, my friend and I witnessed whatever that was last night as well.

We were stopped at the lights on Dewdney Trunk and 228th street, it was about 5:30pm. We looked over to see what looked like a giant meteor flying right above my truck. It was unreal, it was so close you could almost feel the flames.

It looked like a picture out of a text book. No sound though. Then it shot up back into the sky. We pulled over, found my camera and started video taping it. By this time there were two, then a third one appeared. They were in a triangle formation. It was unlike anything I have ever seen, like something out of a movie!

I have the video if you are interested in seeing it, I contacted CTV but they haven’t replied. Thanks.

The film I requested and the witness is trying to get it to me.

Hi there, my name is (name removed) and I’m from Brantford. I saw your post and I am replying because I see weird stuff all the time. I live on the 5th floor of a building and smoke cigarettes.

It all started in July at Wasaga Beach and has escalated since then. I know I see things almost every night and almost feel that they are drawn to my energy or I am drawn to them.

Photo Left:For larger view, click on the picture.

It is very weird and I am very excited to see that others in the area are also seeing these strange objects. I will not post a story for i have way too many, however I will share a few images that I took from my balcony.

Right now as I type, I can see some weirdo stuff happening and it seems to be in around the Mohawk Park and lake area, also back behind the Woodland Cultural Centre.

Although it does seem relevant to piece things together and think that maybe they are drawn towards native land, but now I’m confused since I drove to Hamilton to pick up my son and I was super distracted on the 403 to see similar objects flying about.

Please get back to me, it would be great to hear some other stories and experiences to help calm myself since nobody I know seems to really even believe or understand me, or see anything strange at all. Thank you.

People wondered what in the heck these lights were, no explanation was found until one person saw the lights, and watched as one of them happened to fall out of the sky and into the snow.

Below is an email I received from the fellow and pictures he was kind enough to send of the object.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I seen the same lights as did a lot of people that I know and they are nothing but Chinese lanterns. One came down and landed in the Snow in the same area where we looking at the lights that night around 8:00 p.m.

Left Photo: For a larger view of the balloon/Chinese lantern, please click on the picture.

There were about 5 of us when this happened. I’m going to my Mom’s at lunch to see if the lantern is still in my garage. I can send it to you if you like!

It was kind of chewed up because her “dog” got a hold of it, but it was a Lantern.

Brian Vike wishes to thank all of the eyewitnesses who filed their sighting reports to him, and he would also like to thank the fellow who was kind enough to send along the pictures of the lantern/balloon which was the cause of all the excitement in Thompson Manitoba.

Below is a report from one of the witnesses, all the other sighting reports were similar.

Now the pictures I just pasted into different areas in the reports, but they all came from the fellow who watched one of the lanterns drop from the sky.

4 Orange Red Balls Of Light Over Thompson Manitoba

Date: December 24, 2010
Time: Evening.

Tonight, December 24, 2010, My mom, her friend and her husband and I, and others on our street saw 4 Orange/reddish balls of light above Thompson Manitoba. They were heading northeast. We could tell that they were not planes, they moved at different paces at different times, and seemed to change altitude greatly within 5-10 seconds, they went up much higher. They seemed to travel a large distance in 2-3 seconds. Nothing that I have every seen a normal aircraft to do.

Left Photo: For a larger view of the balloon/Chinese lantern, please click on the picture.

They first appear when we came home from church, only one at first, we thought it was a star, maybe Mars. When we got out, a neighbor pointed out that there was more. 4 to be exact.

As they moved, they got smaller, when they got smaller, they seemed to slow, as if gaining height. Within a minute, they disappeared, One by one.

We couldn't explain it, so I searched for an answer.

This happened less than an hour ago.

That you for your time. If you have any answers, or Ideas, please contact me back.

Tonight, January 8, 2011, at approximately 7:15 pm my neighbor and I saw strange unidentified objects in the sky about Inter River Park in North Vancouver, British Columbia. There were six objects flying/floating in formation equal distance apart with a larger object trailing behind them all.

The objects were like nothing we have ever seen before and there was no sound of engines or power. The objects were like lanterns and they flickered. My neighbor said there was, like a flickering flame. The eventually flew (slowly) up behind the cloud cover and we could not see them.

The sighting was approximately 4 minutes. Very strange, I have no idea what we saw. The longer we stared at them the more startled/confused we were.

Yes, I saw three lights this evening, at 12 minutes before 6:00pm. They came from roughly the North East sky, (I suck at directions!), and flew almost directly overhead of East Maple Ridge. They seemed to be travelling at different altitudes, and appeared to be fairly far apart, but when I first saw all three, they seemed to be flying in line, then they separated.

They all headed more or less Southwest, and we watched them fade from view about 15 seconds apart, probably because they were so distant.

I saw one alone at first, and I thought that it was weird, I've never seen an aircraft with a single orange light. Then two more came into view. There was no sound whatsoever, but they moved pretty damned fast, we only saw them for perhaps two minutes in total. Very odd, and my first sighting of a "UFO"! Cheers, hope this helps.

Location of Sighting: Woodstock New Brunswick.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Star light.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: We were driving north on the 560 towards Lakeville. When all of a sudden a shooting star like object appeared to the front right of us and continued to go behind some trees and vanished. It was like nothing I have scene before. There is no way it was a shooting star that bright and low to the ground.

Location of Sighting: Kincardine Ontario Canada.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 2
Shape of Objects: Cigar/rectangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Observed while stargazing in the hot tub, in windy and partially cloudy conditions. There were two whitish cigar/rectangular shaped objects flying lockstep in tandem, side by side maintaining a gap between them equal to their own length.

Concealed at first by clouds, seeming to emerge below them perhaps descending to a lower altitude, the pair carried on their southern bearing out of view at a steady rate of speed. At first mistaken as shooting stars, then thought to be seagulls which typically wouldn't be flying in small numbers at this time of night, no other seagulls were seen in the area. They looked to be following the western shore of Lake Huron, 1.5 km west of my residence.

Location of Sighting: Lockport Manitoba.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 3
Shape of Objects: Round lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My friend and I were fishing at the locks, when we saw two orange lights fly across the sky. I took pictures of them. It lasted about 30-45 seconds and then they disappeared. A few minutes later they came back and flew the same path and disappeared in the same place. You could tell they were two separate objects because you could see the stars in between them.

About 10 minutes later one of them came back and hovered quite a distance away. It stayed there for about two hours and disappeared. When I developed the pictures you can see a blue light with a funny looking shape in the center, we never saw the blue with are eyes. Also in August 2010 we saw a white light in the sky.

We watched it for a minute or two and then a second one just popped up. They both flew over top of us. They were V shaped grey in color with two green lights on the back of wing tips and a white light in the center. Neither sighting made any sound.
